One of our sister sites, Datamation, is doing a Google Hangout Friday, March 20th at 1:30 PST to discuss the topic of how to hire a mobile app developer. While I’m not personally looking for a mobile development job, I thought this might be an interesting hangout just to see what is said. With mobile […]

When you enter a new career, you often have to shell out a lot of money for the tools you need to get started. What is great about the development world is this cost of entry has shrunk over the years to the point where you can get your tools for free. I was reviewing […]
